    Setting a Maximum allowed amount in a cell

    I need help with setting a maximum amount allowed that can be entered into a cell-not to exceed $108720. The other cell has a formula based on salary $ x .6623/52- but I need to have a maximum of $750.

    Thank you for your help!

    Select the cell then go to Data > Data Validation > Custom in the formula field, enter =[cell address]<108720 (If A1 is the cell not to exceed 108720, then the enter =A1<108720

    Thank you that worked for the cells I want to have an allowed maximimum entered. How do I make the maximum amount of a formula default to $750 if it adds up to more than $750?

    Try
    = Min([Cell that is default to $750 if it is more than $750], 750)

    On Data validation select:

    Allow: Whole Number
    Data: Between

    Minimum: Enter MIN number here
    Maximum: Enter MAX number here.
